I'm interested in Lap Banders who have had either Fiallo, or Haag. Which surgeon did you chose, and why?~*Nicole

I don't know either Fiallo or Haag, see if they are registered in Mass surgeons.I had my surgery with best doctor in Mass, her name is Nicole Pecquex. I am a doctor's daughter and we all find her the best of the best. She is GREAT! I read your profile and I will surely pray for you starting tonight , I hope things will be better for you. Where do you live in Mass? Good luck and blessings..........................patty

Hi Nicole, I had Dr, Haag as my surgeon. He was the Dr. that they gave me when I made my appointment. I think he is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I know alot of people who have had Dr. Fiallo, and Really like him also. I have never heard anyone really complain about either of them I had my surgery January 2005 and have had really great success. I think Dr. Haag has been a great support, every time i go in to see him. We have support groups, and you are welcome to come, and join us. Harriet
